Fig. 2 schematically and schematically illustrate the cross section detecting surface 23.Detection surface 23 comprises the stop second layer 63 on substrate 61, patterning ground floor 62 and patterning ground floor 62.Substrate 61 do not comprised capturing element 64 by those districts (first area 66a) that ground floor 62 covers.
Such as, by means of soft lithography, can in point-device mode to ground floor 62 patterning.In addition, soft lithography can allow the good restriction realizing first area shape.On the ground floor 62 that can be implemented as patterned metal layer, water wetted material can be applied stop the second layer 63 to be formed before capturing element is provided.It should be pointed out that capturing element substantially can only be attached to not to be covered, typically with metal layers to cover and thus not by region that water wetted material covers.Therefore, the precision of the shape of macular area can be high.
Fig. 3 schematically and schematically illustrate the top view on the detection surface according to another embodiment.Here, macular area SA1-SA9 is depicted.Around after the broken circle of macular area SA1-SA9 relates to ink jet printing can involved capturing element catch the district that spot covers.Visible for example, referring to macular area SA9, some first areas, are four first areas in this example, can be covered by a macular area simultaneously.
In Fig. 1 schematically and the sensing chamber 22 exemplarily illustrated can be in Fig. 4 schematically and a part for the sensing box 1 exemplarily illustrated.Sensing box 1 comprises optional filter element 2, and this filter element is for receiving fluid 3 and for filtering this fluid.Sensing box 1 comprises Part I 15 and Part II 16 and capillary structure, and this capillary structure comprises the capillary fluid passage 8 between Part I 15 and Part II 16.Fluid is directed into the detection position 7 which providing and detect surface 23 by capillary force.Part II 16 correspondence provides the substrate 61 of capturing element 64 thereon.In this embodiment, sensing box 1 comprises another filter element 9, and this filter element is used for filtering this fluid 3 when fluid 3 passes through fluid passage 8.In other embodiments, filter element 9 can be omitted.Sensing box 1 also comprises steam vent 17, and this steam vent leaves fluid passage 8 for allowing the air in fluid passage and/or in the fluid detecting position 7.
